Handgun 2
Class Overview
This Class is for students who have been through a basic pistol Class and want to transition to another level of training. If you have already completed a basic pistol Class at another school, please contact us to see if you qualify for this Class.

If you have not completed the prerequisite class with ITTS, but you have prior formal training that was recent and comprable in both subject matter and duration, contact us to discuss your candidacy for this class.

LEO and Military are exempt from this prerequisite.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent a handgun for my training?
Absolutely! We have firearms available to rent for all of our classes, even precision rifles for our sniper classes. When you rent from us you will receive a full rental package that includes: the firearm, all necessary associated equipment (ear and eye protection, a holster and magazine pouch, etc.) as well as ammunition for your training.
What types of handguns and calibers are appropriate for class? Can I bring a revolver?
Single-action, double-action or striker-fired semi-automatic handguns are best for our classes. With a few exceptions here and there, the most common calibers are 9mm, .40 and .45. Occasionally a student may bring a .380 or 10mm to class and that’s fine with us too. However, .22 is not appropriate for our training.
Unless you are already fairly proficient with a revolver (loading, unloading, speed reloading, etc.), they are not ideal for our standard handgun classes. Almost all of our handgun classes teach to semi-automatic handguns. With that said, we do offer a Revolver Class once or twice per year and we can also teach Private Lessons with revolvers.
I don't own a holster or magazine pouch, can I rent one for class?
Yes you can and we don’t charge for them. With that said, if you own a handgun we highly recommend buying your own holster and mag pouch if you are going to commit to training long term. For Handgun 1 it’s not a big deal to use ours, but starting with Handgun 2 and on, we really prefer students use their own gear because it will be better suited to them and specific to their firearm.
A great local shop in Los Angeles to check out for any of your “soft gear” (accessories) needs is Tactical Pro Shop in Burbank – make sure to tell them we sent you and you’ll receive a discount! Most traditional gun stores in Los Angeles don’t carry such a wide variety of accessories, so other than visiting Tactical Pro Shop your next best option would be to order something online.
Can I buy ammunition from you for training?
We don’t sell ammunition to those who are bringing their own firearm to class, they will need to supply their own. If you need help figuring out where to purchase ammunition, check out our Industry Partners!
We only provide ammunition to students who are renting firearms from us for the sole purpose of training.
